N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）的研究进展

N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）是一种广泛存在于真菌、植物、哺乳动物中的去糖基化酶，可以水解N-糖蛋白或 N-糖肽上天冬酰胺与寡糖链连接的化学键，并释放出完整的N-寡糖。PNGase在生物体内参与蛋白质降解、器官发育、个体生长等过程。人PNGase基因功能缺陷会导致先天性去糖基化障碍，小鼠PNGase缺陷会导致胚胎致死性，线虫PNGase缺陷使其寿命下降。本文对PNGase在不同物种的分布、蛋白质结构、酶学功能及生物学功能进行阐述，为PNGase的生理病理功能及致病机制的基础研究提供思路，为PNGase作为糖生物学工具酶或药物开发的创新应用研究奠定基础。

轮虫

轮虫中浮游动物中的一个重要成员，广泛分布于各类淡水水域中，是经济水生动物的开口铒料和优质食物。有纤毛的头冠，骨质化的口器和焰茎球的原肾管是轮虫主要形态结构特征。研究轮虫可深入了解无脊椎动物的系统发育，亦可促进它的开发、利用。

深圳大学校园建筑被誉为学院派跨世纪佳作，是富有创新精神的深大人集体智慧的结晶，和许多大学比，其建筑结构与布局表现了先锋性（新）和独创性（异）、“异”指摆脱了老旧大学的传统建筑套路，“新”则在于体现了改革开放的时代精神和超前意识，校园民人和环境的协调关系，努力创造具有亲和力的“场”，顺应经济化的未来趋势，突出科技的地位和发展智能的重要性，寄寓“天地人和”的理想，从而使校园整体建构具有恒久的人价值     

基于矿物元素指纹分析技术的中国北方大豆产地溯源研究

目的：寻找中国北方相似地域大豆产地的溯源特性指标，以提高矿物元素指纹分析技术在大豆产地溯源方面应用的准确性和稳定性。方法：利用电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定来自中国东北和西北地区5个主要大豆主产省区的159份大豆样品中12种矿物元素（Mg、Al、P、K、Ca、Mn、Fe、Ni、Cu、Zn、Rb、Sr）的含量。结果：利用主成分分析对大豆产地进行初步分类，但除黑龙江外，其他产地并不能进行良好地区分，进一步利用多层感知器建立产地分类模型。训练子集、测试子集和保持子集的正确预测率分别为100.0%、92.3%和94.4%，可有效地对中国北方地区5个产地进行分类。结论：本研究可为我国大豆产地溯源体系的建立提供科学依据。     

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.
